Analisa pola perkembangan wilayah kota Medan

The growth of the population and the development of the city are interrelated. Each increase in the population has an impact on the growth of the city, and vice versa. With the increasing population, the demand for settlement land also increases. Consequently, the availability of land becomes more limited and diminishes every year. Medan city is an example of a city experiencing rapid regional growth and development due to fast population growth, leading to an increase in land requirements. The author examines the regional development of Medan city, urban spatial planning approaches, and environmental issues faced by the city's growth. The author employs a qualitative approach and utilizes qualitative descriptive techniques based on literature research. The research results indicate that the residential area of Medan city has increased by 235.94%, rising from 84.56 km2 (1989) to 199.50 km2. The city's development pattern in 1989 was leap frog development, while in 2002, it showed concentric development. From 2007 to 2018, the Medan Marelan district experienced significant development, amounting to 491.06 hectares

Evaluasi penerapan konsep forest city dalam pembangunan berkelanjutan lokasi calon ibu kota negara Indonesia

Jakarta being the nation’s capital, has led to significant environmental stress due to population density. The rise in inhabitants corresponds with the demand for residential land, urban infrastructure, and other auxiliary structures. The Indonesian government proposes the relocation of the State Capital as a remedy to address the issues and loads present in Jakarta and, more extensively, on Java Island. The fair allocation of funds for infrastructure development to boost economic growth outside Java Island is targeted at suitable locations, specifically in the North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara Regencies. The forest city concept is a strategy in urban planning and development that integrates with nature to safeguard forest regions and biodiversity. Striving for sustainable development necessitates consideration of social, economic, and environmental aspects in the urbanization process on Kalimantan Island. Urbanization issues to general environmental paradigms often arise in several regions, offering a unique viewpoint on the implementation of urban forests at the State Capital candidate location. The shift of service and government hubs is accompanied by population redistribution, with an estimated 1.5 million individuals expected to inhabit the proposed area. Social and environmental conflicts are prevalent issues of concern in the establishment of new cities. The objective of the evaluation is conducted through an analysis of the potential and challenges that will be encountered in relocating the State Capital from the socio-cultural aspect concerning cultural assimilation and environmental aspects related to the urban environment, which can induce an urban heat island. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach and method to identify potential and problems developed by the necessary strategies through SWOT analysis. The findings of this research offer recommendations that the government, as the decision-maker, must implement to preserve and sustain the potential of the environment and socio-cultural diversity

Berkumpul selama masa pandemi

Covid-19 has been present in Indonesia, including DKI Jakarta, for approximately 1 year. PSBB policies were implemented to reduce the increasing number of cases every day, supported by other policies. On June 5, 2020, the Jakarta provincial government issued the transitional PSBB policy, marking the beginning of the new normal era. Entertainment venues were gradually reopened by the government with the aim of restoring the economy. Many people went on vacations and gathered in private and public spaces around their residences despite the continued advice and dangers of the pandemic. The research methods used were participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies conducted from October to May 2021, with the policy dynamics ranging from transitional PSBB to Micro PPKM. The data collection took place on Pelangi Street, Pejaten, Jakarta, Indonesia, with informants selected as mothers residing on Pelangi Street. The mothers on Pelangi Street continued to engage in collective activities based on trust among fellow participants. Some activities they engaged in together included exercise, savings groups, and gatherings. These activities were carried out with the aim of boosting immunity and resistance to Covid-19. To protect themselves and comply with government regulations, they continued to wear masks as an effort to protect themselves from Covid-19, despite contravening government protocols and advisories to stay at home. In reality, gathering during the pandemic not only involves the lack of information or knowledge or even the indifference of the community, but it is highly complex, involving neighborly life and cognitive schemas

Penataan ruang kota Jakarta Pusat berbasis kualitas air tanah untuk perkotaan berkelanjutan

The rapid development and urbanization process in urban areas have exerted significant pressure on the groundwater quality of urban areas. The objective of this paper is to spatially analyze the groundwater quality in Central Jakarta and its relationship with urban spatial planning and land use. The approach taken in this paper is quantitative, involving the collection of secondary data and spatial and descriptive data analysis. Groundwater quality parameters include color, turbidity, iron (Fe), mercury, cadmium, hardness (CaCO3), hexavalent chromium, nitrate, nitrite, zinc (Zn), sulfate, lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), detergents, organic (KMnO4), total coliform, E. Coli, Florida, and pH. The analysis results indicate that the land use in Central Jakarta is predominantly residential, with the dominant critical parameter affecting groundwater quality being detergents. Based on the analysis of land use and observed critical parameters, anthropogenic factors, particularly residential activities, are identified as the most dominant factor contributing to the decline in groundwater quality in Central Jakarta

Understanding non-permanent mobility: Factors influencing resident movement in Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency

Background: The factors of mobility in this study refer to the push and pull factors influencing the non-permanent mobility of the residents of Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency. Most of the residents in Racang Welak Village are seasonal farmers. Non-permanent mobility is influenced by good accessibility and sufficient access to technology. The area of Racang Welak Village cannot fully meet the needs of the local community, leading them to seek employment outside their area despite the strategic potential of Racang Welak to boost their economy. Method: The objectives of this study are to identify the factors that cause the residents of Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency, to engage in non-permanent mobility. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. The sample consists of residents of Racang Welak Village who participate in non-permanent mobility. Result: The results of this study show that the fertile soil conditions in Racang Welak Village allow for the cultivation of various types of crops, resulting in many residents working as seasonal farmers. Seasonal farmers whose needs are not met locally often seek information about job opportunities elsewhere. With information received from family members in the destination area, the residents of Racang Welak Village decide to work in other regions without the initial intention to settle there. Conclusion: The push factors for non-permanent mobility among Racang Welak residents include unmet needs in their home area. Despite having to bear transportation costs, they still choose to engage in non-permanent mobility. The pull factors include a pleasant environment, good social interactions, and job opportunities obtained through relatives in the destination area. Additionally, the work locations are strategic and offer jobs that match their professional skills, resulting in higher incomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research aims to identify the push and pull factors of non-permanent mobility and how the inability to meet local needs drives residents to seek employment outside the region. These findings apply to designing local economic development policies that can reduce dependence on non-permanent mobility by increasing job opportunities and accessibility in the region of origin

Optimizing public space design through odd-even policy: Reducing traffic congestion and pollution in DKI Jakarta

Background: The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta issued Governor Regulation No. 155 of 2018 and its amendments regarding Traffic Restrictions with the Odd-Even System. This regulation aims to reduce congestion levels on 16 main roads. By decreasing congestion, the expected outcome is a reduction in air pollution levels in DKI Jakarta. However, there is concern that the implementation of Governor Regulation No. 155 of 2018 might lead to an increase in conventional car purchases, as affluent individuals may buy two cars with odd and even license plates. This choice is driven by the continued use of fossil fuel-based energy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Governor Regulation No. 155 of 2018 in reducing traffic congestion and air pollution in DKI Jakarta. Additionally, the study seeks to understand the relationship between the implementation of the odd-even traffic restriction system and electric vehicle sales. Methods: The research was conducted by analyzing secondary data obtained from government agencies and other institutions. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey was administered to individuals active on the 16 main roads where the odd-even policy is enforced. The study also analyzed the purchase levels of electric cars, which is one method for Jakarta residents to avoid fines on odd-even roads. Result: Based on the research findings, Governor Regulation No. 155 of 2018 and its amendments have not yet effectively reduced traffic congestion and air pollution in DKI Jakarta. Conclusion: The increase in electric car purchases potentially introduces new issues, such as the unsustainable management of nickel mines required for electric vehicle battery production. Therefore, other sustainable strategies are needed to address traffic congestion and air pollution. Novelty/Originality of the study: This study shows that Governor Regulation No. 155 of 2018 has yet to reduce congestion and air pollution in DKI Jakarta effectively. In addition, the increase in the purchase of electric cars as a solution to avoid fines has raised new problems related to the environmental impact of electric vehicle battery production

The impact of urban density on the form and function of public spaces in sustainable city planning

Background: This study examines the impact of population growth on land use changes in North Jakarta. As one of the rapidly developing coastal areas, North Jakarta has undergone significant transformations in land use patterns due to urbanization pressures and the increasing demand for residential, industrial, and infrastructure space. Methods: Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and previous literature studies, there was a substantial population increase from 2008 to 2018, accompanied by a dominant shift in land use from open spaces and agricultural land to built-up areas. Findings: Population growth has also led to intensive land conversion in strategic areas with direct access to key infrastructure, such as Tanjung Priok Port. Conclusion: This study suggests the implementation of more sustainable spatial planning to address environmental challenges and maintain the balance of the urban ecosystem. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study provides a novel perspective by analyzing the spatial dynamics of land conversion in North Jakarta, highlighting the direct impact of population growth on strategic urban areas with key infrastructure access

Mainstreaming biophilic design in residential development in Jakarta: a study with a multi-level perspective

In the UN's sustainable development program (Sustainable et al. for 2030), it is determined that sustainable cities and communities are one of the goals for achieving in 2030, namely goal no 11. By 2050, the world's urban population will double, making urbanization the most transformative change of the 21st century (UN-Habitat, 2017). It is undeniable that a big city like Jakarta is a city with a high population density. Human life in urban areas increasingly reduces human opportunities to interact with the natural environment, which decreases a person's general well-being (Feandri, 2016). The research will be carried out on reorganizing the city by involving natural elements through a Biophilic Design theoretical approach, a theory that utilizes human nature to be happy to be close to nature (Browning et al., 2014). This theory is claimed to improve its inhabitants' mental and physical health and direct people to take care of the environment on a larger scale

Generating walkability concept for basuki rahmat corridor: a content analysis

Walkable City is a term for a city that has good pedestrian paths by considering 6 aspects such as connectivity, linkage with other modes of transportation, sound land use patterns, safety, quality of pedestrian paths, and the condition/atmosphere of pedestrian paths (Southworth, 2005). This study focuses on the Tunjungan area, specifically the Jalan Basuki Rahmat corridor, as it is crucial for accessibility to the trade and service area of Surabaya City. The objective of this study is to evaluate the environment of the Basuki Rahmat Street corridor and assess the current condition of pedestrian pathways. The research inquiries are as follows: 1. Identifying Basuki Rahmat sidewalk condition; 2. Generating Walkability concept through Content Analysis. Before determining the corridor segment for survey purposes, field observations are carried out as a whole. Based on these observations, 2 significant intersections divide the study area into 3 equal sizes. In addition, the existence of bridges as pedestrian crossing facilities and bus stops as pedestrian transit points is an important consideration. The Narrative process is carried out to formulate the concept of developing a walkable city. Based on the analysis results, appropriate development concepts are divided into 2, namely macro and micro development concepts. This is because the analysis of the previous target measures general and specific/detailed things, so it is necessary to distinguish between overall concepts and specific/complex concepts

Pusaka pavilion: urban acupuncture as narrative pathway to relive history

Pabean Market is known as one of the legacies of Dutch colonialism in Surabaya. The constant hustle and bustle of fishmongers, customers, fish laborers, distributors, to commodity trucks remains to this present day. More often than not, architectural history or cultural heritage of the site go unnoticed or forgotten. To evoke the sociocultural context and involve the community in its preservation, the design also utilizes mobilization or circulation as a narrative strategy. The author focuses on “Storytelling for Forgotten History, Vehicles for Cultural Heritage”, aimed at supporting the commercial activities without leaving historical memory through movement experiences. Utilizing the Force-Based Framework and analyzing the sociocultural context, culture, and needs of the site, the design proposal focuses on storytelling and cultural heritage preservation. The categorization of movement types allows for the determination of suitable media of modules to facilitate effective circulation within the designed environment. Pusaka Pavilion serves as a medium to optimize movement, enabling individuals to experience history, encounter new perspectives, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures. This article presents the conceptual framework and design approach to reflect forgotten history, revive cultural contexts, and foster an inclusive engaging environment
